Aaron Jones Sr., RB (MIN)

Will play Sunday

Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Friday that Jones (knee) will be available for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Jones opened Week 3 prep with an absence from Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, but he progressed to limited Thursday before O'Connell cleared him ahead of the weekend. Thus, Jones likely will take on another workhorse role Sunday, as he did during a Week 2 win in Chicago, when he handled 23 carries for 105 yards.
